I dreamed I was the new president

beccaelizabethand I got lost in the white house on my first day.
... most realistic part.
I went out of my office to have an Explore, because this was My House Now, and I found these tiny little stairs, so I went up to see what was there.
There was an attic, and only the bit right in front of the dooe had a floor. Alao two lawn chairs, cheap, white, plastic. The rest of the place was the wrong side of a ceiling, with yellow insulation between widthways beams. So you couldnt walk down them, but technically you could cross the room, if you were nimble.
President Me was a tall wide man, and would have gone through the ceiling like an elephant.
But there was a window, and I wanted to look out of it.
Outside there was a view of some gardens, and below the windows were some railings I reckoned I could drop on to. Which worked, with more sliding than planned, so then I was on the grass below.
The lawn was all marked out for some game, and the game grid was irregularly covered in weird spiky balls. They looked like pincushions. I decided not to touch them and just picked my way to the hedge, past the edge of the game.
From the hedge I could hear shouting, and also hooves? And when I found somewhere I could see there were two sets of people in different uniforms, navy and brown, both on horses, fighting, with laser guns. Or flashy light guns anyway.
When one of the blue uniforms saw he he whirled round, pointed a gun, then raised it almost instantly and said sorry. Went back to fighting.
When a brown uniform found me she aimed at me steady, then said a whole bunch of stuff very very quickly. But I didn't understand a word of it. She got super frustrated. But when she looked away I got out of there.
I went around the building u til I found one of the suit guys I recognised as the ones that looked after me. There were people crumpled up next to him, but he was busy aiming and shooting at something. He was up on the railings, I was down on the grass, I could sneak past.
One of the unconscious guys was in blue and shiny gold, and the other was an MIB looking suit.
If this was the day Booster Gold saved the President, he wasn't having much luck with it, seeing as he was unconscious with a cut on his forehead.
I patted his face until he came to and then I got us out of there.
Booster was still unsteady and confused, but I had a plan. I could see a helicopter. President Me could fly a helicopter. This was going to be cool.
But on the way there someone spotted us and there was shooting, so I spun us round and hid behind Booster... and then felt really bad about it, because if his force field was working, why would he have been unconscious?
Which I asked him once we were in the helicopter. He'd been all heroic with the wrist blasters and covering us, and now he was looking sort of woozy and puzzled at my bursts of competence. But he said it was an inhalent, and he was ready if they tried that again now. And besides, he would be honored to protect me, that's what heroes do.
He was being all brave and blurry, and I just had to kiss him.
Then I remembered I was currently a large elderly bloke and that was probably super awkward.
Booster just looked surprised though.
I turned around and flicked switches and made the helicopter go, and said something about how when I daydreamed this stuff as a teenager I was more of a princess.
... he said womething affirming about how I was as much of a princess as I wanted to be.
So then I hopped the helicopter over the white house and landed it on the big familiar lawn from all the news pictures. There were news cameras and a whole lot of the sorts of suits and uniforms I recognised, and I wasn't that confident in my flying, so it seemed the best idea.
So we climbed out of the helicopter and everyone was ready to get annoyed at Booster, so I went a little extra on how he had Saved Me. Which he had, but not like, single handed, or one sided. But. Cameras. Need everyone to know he is a Good Guy. So, this guy saved the president everyone! Introduce yourself!
Booster... Gold.
... he oopsed his own name and the rest is future history.
So that, only lightly smoothed out, was a pretty good plotty dream.
Me as the President who gets saved by Booster Gold.
I can't remember where when I indicated that I too might have done a bit of time travelling, but that was fun too. President Me, swapped in for a much more annoying large tall president, ready for four years of getting things done.
... now I'm pondering which one I looked like. Someone from the DCU? Arrowverse? If I have to choose for aesthetics it'd be evil Bruce Boxleitner. Which would make me (*googles*) President Phil Baker? Oh that would work. President Baker, new and improved.
Baker never got actually elected though, on account of being evil.
Being the not evil replacement is way likelier to win an election.
ANYway, that was a fun dream.
